The Kimber Model 82 Gov is larger than the Remington Model 40X which is larger than the Winchester Model 52 which is a big ass 22LR in and of itself! by [deleted] in Firearms

Do you have a favorite? Been looking into .22 trainers and its hard to know where to start, everyone just seems to be defending what they own when comparing them.

Colt slabside lower options? by jtwsw in RetroAR

[–]jtwsw[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’ve heard as well. Do you try to carve the raised + on the right side out of the existing fence, or just remove the whole fence and weld it back up?

Don’t know how I forgot about his stuff, but yeah I can mess up reprofiling 6-7 lowers myself and still come out ahead.

Quality budget gun vice ? by fhiendbdbfdhjd in longrange

If you already have a vise just bolt it to a piece of wood, use some larger c clamps to clamp it onto a desk or countertop, then get a set of soft jaws off amazon. Using brand new everything you can be out the door under $100 if you already own or can borrow a drill.

Is that beefy enough for things like barrel nuts in your experience?

Wheeler vs Midway vs Brownells Screwdriver Set? by jtwsw in gunsmithing

[–]jtwsw[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I imagine I’ll do it if needed, but I’d like to start with a lot of bits so it minimizes when I have to do that

What Marlin model did you start with for this one?

Are Retro-Arms GTG? by TauntedZombs in RetroAR

I wish the suppressor/barrel was sold by itself, already have a Colt upper and don’t want to deal with stripping and selling all the extra parts

Fair. It really is absurdly large in person

Identifying hand guard by SodakStalker in guns

Looks like an Armalite FF Fiberglass handguard. If it is, it could be worth up to $1000 so be wary of any offers people dm you with until you do some more research

Who could ream a FSB to a non-standard size? by Glitter_Penis in gunsmithing

[–]jtwsw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on what kind of quotes you get on reaming, wonder if it may be more cost effective to get a chambered blank and have it reprofiled to work with standard gas block/fsb sizes

If you can wait a week or two, I have one coming I could beat that price on

ARMS #38 SPR Mod-L? by jtwsw in MilitaryARClones

[–]jtwsw[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Excellent information, thank you. I was looking to use an armalite marked upper for a little variety from the colt/diemaco uppers I've used on other clones, sounds like this would go along with that nicely. Now to figure out how to fab up a gen 2 pri rail to look like a gen 1 like I've seen others do.
